Awesome!

AJ, I was wondering if pegasusq and lulzactiveq are the only two (natively?) multicore aware governors included in your kernel? I did some reading on governors and that's what my reading suggested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
That does not hold true for Siyah-i777, as the governors have been made to control their own hot-plugging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Quick fix coming in ~30 mins.

Seems there is a problem with the Nightmare governor. Since Nightmare is the default governor for some profiles, I will:

Revert Nightmare changes

Remove Nightmare from those profiles

and upload a new version later.

If you changed the govs already then the next version will not be necessary for you.

I just noticed that your profile says that you are still running AoCP v4.1.2 . If this is the case then you may not see a performance increase in the 7.8.x series of kernels. This series is tuned for AOxP 4.2.x based ROMs and Samsung JB 4.1.x based ROMs .

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.8.1 [JB]

I'm loving this kernel so far, aj. I was just wondering if someone could give me a quick run through of the differences between profiles. I've been running default simply because I just don't know what all the other ones are about. I have been noticing my screen eating much more of my batter than usual, too..

Sent from my SGH-S959G

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
The profiles are named according to their role. Use the battery profile to conserve a bit more battery. Use the performance profile to gain a bit of performance.

Most people get noticeably better screen-on battery life using this kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sardo Numspa:
im also using AOCP 4.1.2 and these kernels have been really nice for me, it plays well with my i777.

just wish i could get 4.2.1 to play nice with sending sms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mdk2010:
Wohhhhhh....too many updates with fixes in just two days...:eek:

Well I flashed Siyah 7.6.9-S some days ago but it had very strange behavior like volume was increasing automatically without even touching volume rocker, power menu was opening without pressing the power/lock button involuntarily so I became afraid and flashed back the jeboo's kernel. Since then I m visiting your thread and want to flash this kernel but when I am about to flash, you come with another update. Now I am curious to flash it. Siyah and many other kernels are very stable for GT-I9100 and are used as daily driver although hardware of both I9100 and I777 are almost identical except the four-key touch panel and NFC then why are the devs unable to port all of the kernels from I9100 to I777? I think they just have to put the key layout of the I777 in I9100 kernel in order to port then why so many fixes for a single kernel in just two days?

Just two JB kernels for I777 are present here which leads me to think that have we robbed I777 so that devs are not paying attention to this very similar device I777 as I9100. Sorry but it makes me jealous of I9100 which has literally a great support on XDAdevs.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I think you are greatly over estimating the number of kernels on the 9100 :laugh: I dunno exactly which kernel you want from the 9100 but feel free to do it yourself.

The volume thing is likely due to you having the JB volume fix enabled in Stweaks->Sound.

The power menu stuff you mentioned , no one else has ever mentioned anything remotely related to that - so it is likely user error.

The reason for so many updates is because I wanted to.

If it is too many updates and/or fixes for you, then please stay on the stock kernel or go make your own. Thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kufusoto:
Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.8.1 [JB]

I honestly enjoy all the updates, it shows that you want a quality product and that you are dedicated to this project
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mdk2010:
Boss, I am not overestimating the I9100 kernels as I already used I9100 for almost an year and well aware of its kernels support. If I could do that then why am I here? btw I like the dorimanx kernel from i9100.

I didn't even open that Stweaks thingy:)

It can't be a user error bcoz I wiped the previous kernel through the kernel cleaning script and flashed siyah kernel 7.6.9 cleanly and probably most of the users here are using AOKP and CM based roms so they might not have found that problem but I faced it in Shostock 3 JB LS8 stock based rom..

I just asked a simple question that why are the devs not paying any attention towards I777 when they can port I9100 kernels to I777 with modified key layout?

I have an idea for you If u don't mind then u should have some beta testers who can test the kernels in order to point out bugs before releasing the updates. It will be really helpful for both devs and the users. Kindly don't take it as offense as it is just a humble suggestion.

U know that I can't have a stock kernel because we can't use the stock kernels of I9100(Theory not so possible but practically possible).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Man did you even care to see why that happens? If you are "scared", ask someone here, don't assume an option/tweak as an issue/problem with kerenl, it's so disappointing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
You DO realize that this kernel is a fork of the 9100's Dorimanx kernel, correct? I mean, you DID read the OP, right? It is plainly stated there. :confused:

The "scary volume going up thing" is a Dorimanx feature...

When you have a problem that no one else has ever encountered, that is user error or ROM error. Since there are many others who use that same ROM and have zero issues - it has to be user error.

You can use any 9100 kernel that you want. All you have to do is change the key layout after all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
It really sucks when someone cries wolf but never bothers to educate themselves in any slight way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mdk2010:
Sir, before I tried to enter in to stweak, the phone was behaving insanely and it didn't even let me to enter into stweak so I had to pull the battery from the phone.

I didn't said that the kernel have problem. Did I? I said that specific 7.6.9 version was causing it so I shared my issue here in order to know from other users that whether they have faced any such problem with that specific kernel version or not and is it safe to run this kernel on Samsung based roms rather than AOKP/CM based roms...That was my point. English is not my native language so I might have been unable to convey the issue in proper words. Rest I asked the reason about why the devs are not paying attention towards I777 as I9100. Was that an objectionable question Sir!

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.8.1 [JB]

Latest update running great aj I'll donate when I get my taxes soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
If you install v7.6.9, using the recommended installation instructions, onto any XWLS8 based ROM then it will work fine. If the phone behaved badly then you likely had some old Siyah profiles on the phone and the only way to fix that is to follow the installation instructions.

No version has ever, nor will they ever, produced the power menu ghost effects that you mentioned. You're the only 1 that has ever had that happen. So therefore it cannot be a kernel issue.

Your question about the i777 not getting the same attention as the i9100 from kernel devs is not accurate. As far as I know, there is only 1 i9100 kernel (Philz) that is not available on the i777. This is the i777 version of Dorimanx kernel, I just named it Siyah in honor of GM. The i9100 does have more ROMs than the i777, but that is a very different thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mdk2010:
LOL. Instead of telling me the reason behind the I9100 kernels can't be ported to I777, u r asking me to do it myself knowing that I am a user and you are a recognized dev...!

Nah...I didn't read the OP completely and it also not seems to be performing as Dorimanx kernel but let me check the latest update.

Feature or bug?:confused:

I clearly stated that I m using Shostock 3 JB Samsung based rom and their users generally stuck with jeboo's kernel so it may be problem with the 7.6.9-S version...Did u tried it yourself on Shostock 3 LS8 Samsung based rom?

This is my thought that it may be the matter of changing key layout and u could have told me the real reason but its ok....Peace!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Yeah a lot of users run this kernel with Shostock3. I can tell this because there is a version for Samsung JB users and there is only 1 i777 ROM based on the Samsung JB base. Also, because people come here and specify that they are getting great results using this kernel with Shostock3.

Kinda funny how in 4 years you make 8 posts and then out of the blue you make all these posts here today making wild claims of ghost power menus.

Either way..you came here complaining of updates...to which I said - and am saying again - that is part of using this kernel. I do not like leaving something unfixed.

Stop posting here unless you have something productive to post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
No, you did not get my point. You were not scared to buy a Sammy phone, next you were not scared to flash customs kernels, why you report "Volume adjusting" is a point that scared you!

Even if you have any "silly" questions, don't get scared to post them here, folks @this thread always try to teach others.

I9100 is international unlocked version. I777 is locked at&t version and widely popular only in USA, and has less "market share"!;) Until sometime ago, many devs@I9100 didn't even know there's similar one to that of I9100! Like we come to know there are similar ones in USA with prepaid options with other carriers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mdk2010:
Mate, U could have replied it before like this way...Sorry I became frustrated of visiting both I9100 and I777 sections in order to find some ports, I also wanted to flash your kernel because I m not getting a good battery timing through jeboo's kernel but found many updates and I posted a reply in rude manner...Extremely sorry for that. Kindly accept my apologies. About to flash 7.8.x now.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I replied rudely as well, and I apologize for that.

If you have something going wrong on this kernel just ask here. There are always people here eager to help others.

The profiles on the v7.8.x series are not yet finished. There will be more updates to come to polish those profiles and make for even better battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:

If anyone would like to submit their battery saving profile, or extreme battery saving profile, please do so! We will be picking 1 of each in the coming weeks to be included with the kernel as a standard profile.

I'm still having issues with audio popping with your kernel. I'm thinking that today I'll update from SHO3 2.1 to 2.5 (new base) and report back in a day or two as to whether that fixes it, but is there anything you can think of that might cause it?

It's not like the skipping that happens with AFTR enabled with the screen off, it's a very minor popping that happens sometimes when I skip a few tracks, it goes away after the music has been playing for a few minutes or if I skip a few more tracks. I've only tried the stock Samsung music player and it doesn't go away if I change profiles, governors, I/O schedulers, Idle Mode or Read-Ahead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I will try to get around to reinstalling WanamLite v14.1 this week so that I can attempt to reproduce that issue.
